Little Too Late

IT'S A LITTLE TOO LATE

Recorded by Mark Chestnut

Words and music by M. Chestnut, R. Springer and S. Morrisette

Well, early this mornin' it dawned on me ---

The kind of man she needed me to [E] be

She made a list and laid it there beside me - on the bed

Now [D] what I should a done keeps a-runnin' through my [E] head

(1-Well), (2-Oh!), (3-But),

I [A] shoulda done this and I shoulda done that

I shoulda been there and she'd never left

I shoulda been [E] hangin' onto ev'ry word she had to [A] say

But, it's a little too late, she's a little too gone

She's a little too right, I'm a little too wrong

Now would [E] be a good time to change, but it's a little too [A] late.

Last night I came home at a quarter to three ---

And to my surprise she wasn't mad at me

I thought she'd finally realized not to worry - I'd be home

And then I realized this mornin' she was gone.

2nd CHORUS

3rd CHORUS

Right now would be the time to change

But It's a little too late.
